Did you ever think you’d see the day that environmentalists abandoned Barack Obama? To paraphrase Guy Mitchell’s old country song, “The President has heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score.”
Politico.com reports a bit of a rebellion brewing on the far left:
“Obama’s environmental record has been dismal, especially on climate, oil and endangered species,” said Kieran Suckling, executive director at the Tucson, Ariz.-based Center for Biological Diversity. “His early appointment of Ken Salazar as secretary of the interior showed very poor judgment. So yes, a pro-environment Democrat might find a surprising amount of support in a primary battle.”
Glenn Hurowitz, former media director at Greenpeace, aired his complaints in an article on the Huffington Post with this headline: “Environmentalists Need a New President.”
“It pains me to say it, but success will require a new president,” wrote Hurowitz, now a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy. “And that means that after the midterm elections, we need to start looking for a primary challenger who has the heart and soul required to save the planet from catastrophe and rescue American [sic] from its economic morass.”
Take it away, Guy.

Is it a mere coincidence that the enviro-whacko's name is Suckling??
Deeeeed, all those "eco-promises" were just window dressing so he could get elected. Ya know, outright lies.
Having accomplished, according to Rush et al, about 70% of his "hope and change" Socialist goals, the Obama-tool can now be discarded by the Puppet-masters behind the scenes.
With several States passing or in the process of passing legislation requiring that candidates be properly vetted and certified he won't be able to run for a 2nd term without producing his still-hidden "long-form" birth certificate and any other requisite documents to prove his legal qualifications for holding office.
Deeeeed(in case you haven't been to cali-that is how surfers say dude)-you promised us legalized weed. you promised us no more oil killing dolphins and whales. You promised us we could be ecoterrorists and get paid by the government to do it. You are not the 60's radical we thought you were deeeed.
